details
A visual history of the objects that let humans make, fix, build, shape, and occasionally overcomplicate things.
Tools looks at hand tools across cultures and centuries, showing how form follows function in everything from axes and planes to measuring devices and specialist implements. The photography and illustrations make it just as satisfying to browse as it is to read.
For makers, designers, woodworkers, tinkerers, and anyone who can appreciate a beautifully engineered object even when they have no immediate use for it.
